Cordylines Cordyline fruticosa
cultivars
Cordylines bring steady color to your plant
arrangements. They look their best when they are protected from late
afternoon sun. A good dose of mid-day sun will bring out their
colors, but if they stay in the sun too long, their skin will get wrinkly
and baggy, and you may have to consider corrective surgical options
(either a leaf-ectomy, or an entire body transplant to another location).

Ivory Cane Palm Pinanga kuhlii
Clustering feather palm from Indonesia, with lots of good
action going on, from strikingly-hued new growth, to attractive, slender
yellow trunks, and festive seed pods. |
 |
 |
The most fitting use is as an understory palm in an
established garden. Protect from cold and drying winds. |
|
This is a clumping palm, so when the trunks get too tall,
you can cut them off at the base. New ones will take their place, allowing
you to easily keep it trimmed under ten feet in height. |
 |
Philodendrons
|
Philodendron sp. 'Burle Marx' is a charming,
low-growing clumper. Very tough; does best in shadier spots.
|
 |
 |
P. magnificum is dignified and sophisticated.
If it could, it would wear Italian suits, drive a Rolls-Royce, and eat at
the best French restaurants. |
|
Philodendron wilsoni develops leaves up to 6 feet
long as it climbs up into the canopy of your palms. This one, more
than any other, will make your yard look like the set of a Tarzan movie. |
